近年來隨著資訊科技的進步發展,練習英語口說能力的方法也愈來愈多元化,本研究是在Google AIY Voice Kit的硬體上應用語音用戶介面設計了一套適用於口說練習的英文語音互動系統,將現有課本教材以溝通式教學法設計成適用在英文語音互動系統之課程,其一人一機的使用方式具有達到個別化學習及差異化學習的特性。本研究旨在探討英文語音互動系統對於國小五年級學生英語口說能力及口說焦慮之影響。本研究採準實驗法,實驗對象為台南市某國小五年級共30位學生,分成控制組為全傳統教學模式及實驗組為傳統教學搭配英文語音互動系統之教學模式。在實驗課程實施前,每位學生先進行英語口說能力前測及填寫口說焦慮問卷,實驗課程實施之後再進行口說測驗後測及填寫口說焦慮問卷以獲得量化資料,並以統計方法分析比較兩組在口說能力學習成效與口說焦慮的差異。 從研究結果發現,傳統教學搭配英文語音互動系統的教學模式比全傳統教學模式更能有效提昇學生的英語口說能力以及降低英語口說焦慮。
With the development of information technology, how to practice English speaking ability has become more and more diversified. In this study we have designed the English Speech Interaction System on Google AIY Voice Kit which is suitable for oral practice. We applied the Communicative Language Teaching into the textbook materials to design a course suitable for the English Speech Interaction System. The characteristics of the use of one person one machine of this system are individualized learning and differentiated learning. The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of the English Speech Interaction System on English speaking ability and speaking anxiety of fifth graders in elementary school. The experimental subjects of this study were thirty fifth graders in Tainan City. They were divided into a control group for the traditional teaching mode and an experimental group for the traditional teaching mode with the English Speech Interaction system. Before the course is implemented, each student performs a pre-test of speaking ability and English anxiety scale in English, and after the course is implemented, a post-test is performed to obtain quantitative data to analyze and compare the differences in the effectiveness of the two groups in speaking ability learning and speaking anxiety. Results of study finds that the traditional teaching mode with the English Speech Interaction system is more effective than the traditional teaching mode in improving the students' English speaking ability and reducing English speaking anxiety.
